The crowd was goin crazy, firemen ed was all over the stadium and it was the loudest Jet game I have been to. This year we need to be just as loud everytime our D takes the field for every home game! Remeber Rex's Challenge! The most electrifying game was definatly when we played GB a few years ago, we blew them out.

As Vinny said, the West Side Stadium falling through was a huge disappointment, but years later, I'm looking at the positives. We will not be attending home games at Giants Stadium. We wont be sitting in red and blue seats, and the facility will be the envy of every team in the league... for a year or two. Most importantly, we will hopefully have a great team going into our new home. And... I guess I'm in the minority here, but I love those Premio sausage and peppers they sell at The Meadowlands. I never miss getting one of those. That's fine dining in my book! I am optimistic about the new stadium, despite the psl situation with our NY JETS FO sticking it to Joe Jet Fan.

I think we would act worse than pat fans if we win a Superbowl and become a dinasty. you know what our problem is as Jet fans. i think we are the most humble/ arrogant fans in the nfl.

I WAS a season ticket holder, but gave them up because I got priced out of the upper deck and decided not to pay a PSL. However, I am still as big a Jet fan as ever. If this new team delivers and brings wins, I won't care about having to give up my seats. All I want is a championship. Obviously I agree that winning cures everything.

I dont know if i would have been able to bear the pain of being a fan of our beloved gang green if it wasnt for parcells and the 97' season. We ended with a winning record for the first time as long as i was watching. But, winning may make the wet 5$ hot dog taste less like flavored toilet paper, it will not cure the fact that we share the place with another team. This is the NFL, where $ is abundant. We should have had our OWN place. For OUR fans. In OUR area (nyc or queens/LI). True wins do cure everything.

I was waiting for you to post about it with the goal being to defend your mood tone and feelings to a team you love. I now see they took your quotes out of contest and am no longer disappointed. As a season ticket holder, I do agree that the stadium is garbage and everyone I know except for my one friend has to come to their senses and realized that the Farve experiment failed. The food is definitely not "fine dining", but in the end it's all about the team. Winning cures everything in sports. I like Bassett, applaud the bold decision to bring in #4 because more than anything it connived a sense that winning games was the most important thing to this franchise. Sure the new leadership and the fancy new QB who poses in GQ mags, has brought a kind of new-found-hope to the fans, and I believe that is the first step. The attitude that THIS Jets team is portraying is an encouraging sign, but all I want to see is wins. As I allotted to earlier, winning cures everything, and thats truly all that matters. The new stadium will be nice, but the wins that come inside of it for the team wearing green will be twice as sweet. I saw this yesterday and did a double take.
